About this map

The Convulsion Coal Mine anchors the southern landscape of this central Utah survey, situated where the high terrain of the Old Woman Plateau drops into deep drainage systems. This industrial footprint contrasts with the surrounding managed forest lands, where the Lizonbee Administrative Site serves as a remote outpost for the Fishlake National Forest. The map documents a complex network of springs and water management features essential for high-elevation ranching and forestry, including Skutumpah Reservoir and the eponymous Acord Lakes.

Topographical transitions define the area, from the prominence of White Mountain in the northwest to the rugged descent through East Spring Canyon. Local history and land use are etched into the nomenclature of sites like Jack Ackley Monument and Jolly Mill Point. The mapping of numerous 4WD trails and forest boundaries, such as the Ferron District, illustrates the transition from resource extraction to managed recreation and conservation at the start of the 21st century.
